The 5th ranked Kansas Jayhawks (19-3, 7-2) travel to Norman on Saturday to face the Oklahoma Sooners (14-7, 5-4).
For the first time since the 2005-06 season the Jayhawks find themselves on a two-game losing streak. Kansas scored just 13 points in the first half at TCU on Wednesday en route to a 62-55 loss to the Horned Frogs. Since that infamous 2006 season, however, the Jayhawks have won ten straight games against Oklahoma.
Oklahoma head coach Lon Kruger has yet to beat the Jayhawks in his time at Oklahoma but is 5-13 overall against the University of Kansas.
KU's defense has been its calling card so far this season. The Jayhawks are the number one overall team in Division I when it comes to field goal percentage defense at 35.6 percent. They also rank third nationally in blocked shots at 7.3 blocked shots per game.
Saturday's game tips off at 3 pm in Norman.
